The meaning of Wales was quite clear.

His civilization from the Primordial Era had been constantly sending signals and various information outward.

Essentially, it's also a kind of baiting.

And his way of baiting was not afraid of backlash, because as long as his true form remained hidden, no one could force him out.

If he could lure Black Star over, he could naturally attract other passing civilizations as well.

Some might even be hiding nearby, observing and watching from above without leaving.

"Other Divine Upper beings, like me, send out information from their own civilizations... Over the years, I have learned the coordinates of several more distant civilizations. I've had occasional exchanges with them, but none have revealed their true forms."

The old man said, "I can exchange these coordinates with you, how about that? Adding to the information I'm now giving you, isn't that quite good already?"

Black Star snorted coldly, seeming somewhat hesitant.

Professor Wales couldn't help but smile to himself.

Such a person is easy to understand.

Straightforward, repays kindness with kindness. If you give him various benefits, he certainly won't want to owe you.

Unlike most of the ancient beings, who usually go back on their words, consume everything, and are very sly.

And Li Qing couldn't help but smile inwardly as well.

Such people are easy to understand; each one is decayed, insidious, cunning, trying to scheme against others, adhering to absolute reason and interest.

Little did they know, he saw through Black Star and knew he would never consume him completely, but the eavesdropping third party like himself would.

"Well then, let me share another piece of information with you!"

Seeing the look of interest on Black Star's face, Wales knew this guy was basically unwilling to owe any favors.

That expression was practically written all over his face.

No attempt to hide it at all.

Maybe if he provided a bit more benefit, then acted like an old man trembling in tears, recounting a life of hardship and despair, yearning to see the outside world, now turning over a new leaf, he would basically take the bait.

Then, he would become the partner of this hot-blooded protagonist, accompanying him in his conquests...

Once he revealed the coordinates of the Real Universe, he could gain freedom, and leverage this person to test the waters.

This extraordinarily talented but naive person was the best vanguard.

In real warfare, why is bravery needed?

War is merely an extension of politics, and politics is inherently negotiation.

This is technological civilization, not some barbaric low-level races that only know how to fight.

Thinking about this, Wales said:

"Do you know why there are so many abandoned, unobservable beings like me here? Because it's essentially a predetermined cosmic law."

"The laws of Divine Level civilizations are that the Upper City Districts pasture the Lower City Districts, but after a breakthrough, the hierarchy reverses, and the Lower City Districts emerge with Divine Upper beings to counterattack... the superiors immediately close the passage."

"It's like a cosmic curse, invisibly excluding us from the universe."

"A curse?" Black Star was intrigued.

Wales showed a deep smile, "Yes, most Divine Upper civilizations experience this breakthrough failure, blocked outside, becoming half-finished products like us, abandoned."

"Only a few Divine Upper civilizations successfully counterattack the Main Material Universe, enslave the Upper City District, support puppets, harvest the matter of the Real Universe, absorbing stars, white dwarfs, various celestial bodies..."

"But even this won't last long; you can't truly enter the universe, and once puppets no longer wish to be subjugated, rebellion will gradually arise, secretly closing spatial passages, leaving outsiders stranded."

Thus, Divine Upper civilizations are fundamentally contradictory entities.

They seem like things that shouldn't exist in the universe.

The universe has an inexplicable natural mechanism, rejecting Divine Upper civilizations that steal its internal matter.

"Indeed."

After such a straightforward theory, Black Star fully understood, "The internal cosmos becomes the Lower City District, who wants to be a slave with a master outside the cosmos?"

This universe is truly peculiar, post-breakthrough, the herded dogs become masters, and the masters become dogs.

The inscrutable laws have their set course, running logically.

Wales said: "So, over the years, many Divine Upper beings have been abandoned and have wandered here. Everyone wants to go home."

"I think you all just want to rob the nest." Black Star replied with some displeasure.

Professor Wales said: "Enemies in the shadows here are unknown, joining forces is our best bet, especially with that Mysterious Universe you described, we may reach the true pinnacle of the universe."

"Stop, stop!" Black Star couldn't help but interrupt his vision.

Wales was silent, looking quietly at Black Star.

Black Star felt a tingle on his scalp being watched, this man is truly devious, and for a moment, he was mesmerized; isn't this owing a great debt of gratitude?

After pondering for a while, he decided to just go all the way, "According to your description, wouldn't the space fragments scattered everywhere, through repeated cycles, fish out many parts of the universe?"

"That's the case."

Wales answered with candor, "The current Main Universe is absolutely not as vast as you imagine; over time, the environment has been destroyed, and much matter has been salvaged."

Just like Earth.

Human activities seem very frequent, destroying forests, causing desertification, polluting oceans, burning oil and gas, with many irreversible effects.

But Earth is still too large.

Only 30% of the land is affected by human activity, let alone the surface, so natural damage to Earth is not considered significant, at least it hasn't hurt the fundamentals.

"Of course, there's another hypothesis."

Wales said: "We are already in the late-period of cosmic destruction, with a large number of Divine Upper civilizations born, the cosmos has been fished out, shrinking crazily countless times."

"The reason we haven't seen it is due to the speed of light; the starry sky we see is the scenery from billions of light-years ago."

"The distant stars have long since been salvaged and collapsed."

"To make a simple analogy, maybe the universe has been reduced to only the small Milky Way left, with the outside being mere hollow shadows."

Listening to Wales' patient explanation, Black Star only felt incredibly shocked.

Undoubtedly, the other party painted a grand blueprint for him, completely unveiling the mysterious veil of an Out-of-Context-Level civilization.

After taking a deep breath, Black Star stared at the other party for a while and said, "You may be up to no good, but I'm not one to forget the rules. Since you want the coordinates of the Crystal Series universe, then I will give you those coordinates."

"You want to meet the Ancient Gods, if you're not afraid of death." In Black Star's eyes, the other party was a very powerful existence, and that was the true reality of the cosmos.

This backward civilization had no idea how long they had been confined here, even perceiving the outside world incorrectly; when they saw the real cosmos of the galaxy, they would be awestruck and terrified by its grandeur and strength.

"That would truly be wonderful."

The old man welled up with tears, wetting his glasses, put on a fake smile, and said, "I never imagined that one day, this old man would see the true world, gaining real freedom."

Li Qing: "..."

Damn you, Black Star.

All along, I have misunderstood you.

You've always been the one leading the invaders here, haven't you?

Mia, whom you previously brought, your bargain wife, is still confined in my asylum, and now again?
